Hi,
My urine has been checked but the results aren’t back yet. The only result I have from that is the normal protein level is very low, which is good. Could be another few weeks for the urine electrophoresis as there’s a backlog apparently. Had the 24 hr collection one…vile. Also had full skeletal x rays, all normal thank God.
I had two miscarriages last year and afterwards I felt very stressed and down. I thought initially I had a hormone imbalance after the miscarriages but now I realise it was stress. I went in Jan to my GP to get my hormones tested before my husband and I tried again. I was feeling a little bit sick at that time, a virus maybe. My neutrophil count was a little low at 1.92 and I had a strange rash around my neck for two weeks previously and then it resolved. I thought it was an allergic reaction but it seemed to last ages.
One of the tests was for thyroid and they noticed a low background reading and so a serum protein electrophoresis test was done and my immunoglobins were checked to see if my immune system was ok. My levels were fine but a “trace of a tiny iga lambda monoclonal band” was detected.
I didn’t hear about this until the end of March. Repeated the tests in early May and the trace is still present. Repeating the test in November.
It’s important to get all your info together and keep on the back of medical professionals! I hound them, I’m sure they dread me! You have to be your own advocate.
Hope you’re feeling ok.
Best wishes,
Lucy
